PLEASE HELP ME FIND MY DAD 'KEN SIJUADE'
Well, hello everyone! I'm new here! AND I’m in London!
I am looking for my Nigerian father. I am 34 years of age and am keen to find my missing father with whom I have had no contact since 1977 after I believe he was deported from London back to Nigeria. He was known in London between 1975-1977 as Ken Sijuade. He left when I was just 2 years old.
My father registered me at birth he gave me HIS Nigerian name 'Sijuade'. Now, as a kid growing up in the 70s (without a dad) in London was quite alternative to say the least. I have to admit I didn't promote my given name BUT as I grew older I have to say that I am SO happy he did this for me. I AM SO PROUD. BUT I want to find him. I haven't seen met him before, this for me is really sad.
I wasn't brought up to believe in religion and he also had me christened, so once again never paid much attention to this fact but I do appreciate and respect his reasons for doing this for me. Anything someone does for you to this degree you have to respect no matter what your beliefs. For me it showed that he cared. I've missed out on a lot - not having a father around...but it’s a long story!
Anyway, whilst I go on, I might just introduce myself, I'm Michelle Sijuade Trafford. And I’m going to ask YOU, would you have any idea where I might find my missing father Ken Sijuade?
This is quite a desperate case.
If you have any information, which might guide me in the right direction to finding him, please, please let me know.
Thank you for reading this.
Much appreciated!

Hi all!
SCAMMER? ME? Hahaaa! Funny that some of you think this is a scam but I do understand really. You can't be too careful these days with dodgy emails and messages appearing in our inboxes etc. Let me just reassure you all that I/this is no scam. I am desperately looking for my dad - as said above, all is very true and it's quite an emotional ride for me. I can't understand how another human being could make anything up to this degree and play games with other people emotions etc. GAME-PLAYING IS NOT ME AT ALL. If I was a scammer i'd be asking for money etc or asking you to click on a link etc. which of course would damage your computer...well that's what had happened to me a few times too hahaa! So like I said, I do understand your concern BUT once again, NOT ME : )
Anyway, back to the point.
To those who have taken the time to write me very VERY informative and helpful messages, it's comforting to know that there are people out there who can see and trust what and where I'm coming from. I thank you greatly!
Regarding the photo of my dad holding me at birth: This is the only picture I have, it's quite sad really, my mum said she had many pictures before he was deported but they got totally ruined by another man - jealous of him. Another story.
Ezeobi Okechukwu Stanley - THANK YOU LOTS! I need all the support I can get on this case and you have been extremely helpful, thank you! I will bear you in mind if I do need any help but I don't want anyone to think i'm scamming anyone, it's really nice to have trustful people out there who will give me a chance. I'll keep these posts up to date so you can see the progression etc. Thank you!
Olarinde Joshua Olu - Thank you for the facts. This is just what I need, the right facts to chase the different avenues to find my dad. I haven't had any Nigerian influence in my life until now and i don't know much about Nigeria and the people, the culture and the king, tribes and traditions etc so I really appreciate your factual stuff, it's education for me : )
Moving forward, over the next few weeks I will be chasing all the leads you have all generously supplied me with and i'll keep this post updated for records sake and in another way to just show you that I do REALLY appreciated your help AND THANKS TO YOUR KINDNESS I am doing the necessary things to find my dad.
EVERY little piece of information will not be under-estimated, every piece of information is such a MAJOR help!

Hi Titalayo Miwa,
Thank you for your advice, appreciated! I came on here (on Vanguard) to gain more knowledge and you have helped in the process. I WILL be going to the NTA, Nigerian Embassy (as I am in London) etc. I will be chasing ALL leads that I have been given here on Vanguard. It's been worth while being here on Vanguard to hear your/nigerian peoples verdicts. If anyone knows Nigeria it's you people.
Thank you!

Well dearie,my very concise and candid advise to you is for you to take this a little more serious than this post. Take a voyage down to Nigeria and visit the Nigerian Television Authority. You cannot believe what this medium will do for you. Believe you me, NTA as we call it will help find your father in less than 7 days (if he is alive. I pray he is.)
Good luck. I share your pain.

Kerry Ughalu Egbeme,
Thank you for your comments, I appreciate them : )
I have emailed the NTA Media company and I am currently waiting for a reply. I hope they are able to help me, I have faith and I will need to go to Nigeria...and I definately will be making that journey as soon as I can. It's going to be a hard journey but I do believe something will come of it especially after your message, thank you very much!
Wow! 7 days, that's very fast : )

Believe me Michelle...in less than 7 days! I will be here to remind you...
AFTERS: This is no soothsaying or prophetic prediction in any way. This is going to happen in less than 7 days.
Again, good luck
